Bikeability is Cycling Proficiency Test for the 21st century, designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today's roads.
Training Levels
There are three different levels of Bikeability training:- Level 1 - Teaches basic bike handling skills in an off-road environment and is ideally suited to children aged 7-9 years old.
- Level 2 - Is covered on quiet roads with real traffic conditions and is available to children aged 9 and older.
- Level 3 - Is carried out on busier roads with more complex road junctions and is suited to secondary aged children and adults.
Torbay Council works in all primary schools in Torbay to give as many young people as possible the opportunity to gain this important life skill. If your child has missed the training at school why not book them onto one of our holiday courses.
From April 2012 we will be offerering Level 3 training to secondary school students in Torbay, giving them the opportunity to plan and cycle more complicated routes.
Torbay Council is also able to provide adult and child ‘Learn to Ride’ sessions and cycle training for adults who would like more confidence to undertake journeys.
For more information on holiday clubs or cycle training in general, please contact Highways.
